During my time at Bosch I partook in the research, design, rapid prototyping, and testing of new power-tools for international retail. Novel solutions were validated on proprietary test rigs which benchmarked their performance against international standards and competing products. I also oversaw the implementation of new teardown-based analysis techniques on site.
Some days would be spent in the office working on CAD and benchmarking the project’s performance against international standards, whilst otherwise would be spent in the workshop and labs building, wiring, and testing a range of mid-fidelity prototypes. Occasionally, I would be out field-testing equipment in representative operating conditions.
Meetings with international stakeholders occurred daily, and every few weeks I would lead my own catch-up sessions to discuss progress on the projects that I oversaw.
